Less believable: that New Yorkers willingly relay a heartfelt conversation from one end of a crowded platform to the other, or that an Australian in cowboy boots walking across the tops of people’s heads results in a joyous, cheering crowd? We still can’t decide.

Charlie Bronson answers the age-old question of what to do when accosted by knife-wielding thugs in the most badass way possible: by dealing out hot lead sandwiches with zero hesitation and then strolling off the train like it ain’t no thang.

Christopher Walken teaches prospective muggers not to bring a knife to a gunfight before flipping them a roll of cash and attempting to hire them. NYC power move, yo. Bonus: young Harold Perrineau (aka Michael from Lost) as lead hooligan.

In yet another example of Dealing With Train Toughs 101, Al Pacino disarms a hoodlum with intimate knowledge of his wife’s affair before sending him off to murder her and her lover. The Devil is such a dick.

Detective Popeye Doyle (Gene Hackman) commandeers a civilian’s Pontiac LeMans to pursue an elevated D Train on which a hitman is trying to escape. One of the greatest chase scenes in cinema history, shot — unbelievably – with no permits.
